Thats what I understand too, but I got points for the dec 2014 experience (implied status) as I wasn't a full time student then and had completed all my study requirements.
Wish they gave more clarity.
Thanks again,
Hi Dreamca,
How was your PR process. Can you share your experience?
I am also in the similar situation now. I received ITA.
- I received degree completion letter from University on
23-Feb-2015
- I applied for the post-graduate work permit (PGWP) online on
24-Feb-2015
- My study permit was valid till
31-March-2015. From 1-April-2015, I was on implied status till 7-May-2015
- But the date issue of PGWP is on
8-May-2015
- I received ITA on
1-June-2016
Scenario1:
Job1 : Company A
Status: Part time
Duration :
1-Mar-2015 to 08-Aug-2015 (PGWP issued on 8-May-2015)
Total weeks: 23 weeks (I have been told that 18hrs/30hrs=0.6, 23 weeks*0.6=
13.8 full-time weeks)
Hours/week : 18 hrs
Total hours :
23weeks*18hrs=414hrs
Note: 09-Aug-2015 to 16-Aug-2016, I didn't work.
Job2: Company B
Status : Full time
Duration : 17-Aug-2015 to 1-June-2016 (I received ITA on 1-June-2016)
Total weeks : 41 full-time weeks and 3 days
Hours/week : 37.5
Total hours : 41.3 weeks*30hrs=1239hrs
Job1 (
13.8 full-time weeks) + Job2 (
41 full-time weeks) = Total (
54.8 full-time weeks and 1653hrs), In this case, I completed 1 year.
Scenario2:
Job1 : Company A
Status: Part time
Duration :
8-May-2015 to 08-Aug-2015 (
Start date as per PGWP issue date instead of actual job start date which is on 1-Mar-2015)
Total weeks: 13 weeks and 1 day (I have been told that 18hrs/30hrs=0.6, 13weeks*0.6= 8 full-time weeks)
Hours/week : 18 hrs
Total hours :
13weeks*18hrs=234hrs
Note: 09-Aug-2015 to 16-Aug-2016, I didn't work.
Job2: Company B
Status : Full time
Duration : 17-Aug-2015 to 1-June-2016
Total weeks : 41 full-time weeks and 3 days
Hours/week : 37.5
Total hours : 41.3 weeks*30hrs=1239hrs
Job1 (
8 full-time weeks) + Job2 (
41 full-time weeks) = Total (
49 full-time weeks and 1473 hrs). As per sceanrio2, I require 3 more full-time weeks. Then I will complete my 1 year only on 20-June-2016.
When do I complete my 1 year of Canadian work experience?
Can I accept the ITA which I received on 1-June-2016 or not?
I explained my above scenario to a lawyer and she told me that she can only give legal opinion on it.
If I am not full-time student and also I am working legally (i.e. with a valid study permit and also applied for the post-graduate work permit) then my experience (in the period of 25-Feb-2015 to 7-May-2015) should be eligible for 1 year of Canadian work experience.
